Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Scientific skills
    • Appropriately select measuring instruments, analyse and process the signal obtained
    • Be a responsible researcher: - Know how to base their reasoning on data obtained from scientific literature. - Know how to integrate an ethical dimension in their reasoning. - Be loyal (to the facts, to the team, and to intellectual property). - Do not tamper with results. - Do not exploit the work of others. - Demonstrate experimental rigor.
  • Professional integration skills
    • Work in teams in different contexts including with people from different disciplines, integrate, fit in, collaborate, communicate and report
    • Be aware of ethical issues and apply ethical codes specific to life sciences in their behaviour
    • Master written and oral scientific expression. Be independent in writing and show that they can communicate their thoughts, reason and organise their knowledge
    • Master scientific English: - Present scientific results, orally and in writing. - Answer scientific questions in English

Learning Outcomes of UE

The main objective of the molecular imaging course is to present several imaging techniques with both theoretical and experimental approaches, including some examples of applications.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

Introduction: Background of imaging techniques, X-ray scanner, nuclear imaging with radioisotopes (PET and SPECT techniques), ultrasound imaging, MALDI imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), optical imaging (techniques of FRAP, FRET, FLIM, FLIP and FCS)
Conclusions: description of the advantages/disadvantages and complementary aspects of the techniques, presentation of molecular imaging applications
